Inventor: FLADERER HEINRICH
IPC: H04J3/06
Filed: 1983-08-11
Granted: 1985-02-21
Abstract: A time division multiplex signal of a high order with a frame code word which occurs block-wise is distributed between a plurality of channels in a demultiplexer and is supplied to the inputs of a synchronizing arrangement. The transmission path of the synchronizing arrangement comprises memories and a channel distributor. The channel distributor is controlled by the first memory by way of a decoder, further memories, and a coder in a single step. A logic linking arrangement and a frame counter permit resynchronization only when the frame code has failed to appear four times in succession. The synchronizing arrangement facilitates high-speed synchronization at bit rates of 140 Mbit/s and 565 Mbit/s, and also permits construction in accordance with emitter-coupled logic technology.

Title: Data compression using adaptive bit allocation and hybrid lossless entropy encoding
Inventor: WANG ZHENGRONG
IPC: H04N7/30
Filed: 1997-03-19
Granted: 2000-05-18
Abstract: A method and apparatus for adaptive bit allocation and hybrid lossless entropy encoding. The system includes three components: (1) a transform stage, (2) a quantization stage, and (3) a lossless entropy coder stage. The transform stage (1) uses a wavelet transform algorithm. The quantization stage (2) adaptively estimates values for parameters defining an approximation between quantization size and the logarithm of quantization error, and recursively calculates the optimal quantization size for each band to achieve a desired bit rate. The baseband and subbands are transformed into quantization matrices using the corresponding quantization sizes. The lossless entropy coder stage (3) uses the observation that the entropy property of run lengths of zero index values in the subband quantization matrices is different from the entropy property of non-zero indices. Each quantization matrix is parsed so that each non-zero index is extracted into a separate steam, and the remaining position information is parsed into an odd stream of run length values for "0" and an even stream of run length values for "1". These three streams are Huffman coded separately in conventional fashion. <IMAGE>

Title: Clutch mode control logic
Inventor: SLICKER JAMES MELVIN
IPC: B60W10/02
Filed: 1993-11-30
Granted: 1995-09-21
Abstract: A friction clutch (20) coupling an engine (10) and a gear transmission (30) of a vehicle is controlled by a microprocessor based circuit using logic which defines operating modes according to engine (10) and clutch (20) conditions. During the time of clutch closure, when the vehicle is starting from rest in a startup or launch mode, the throttle or other engine control signal is restrained from quickly responding to the accelerator pedal (11). This avoids engine overspeeding which results from generating high torque before sufficient clutch capacity has been achieved. The control signal is developed as a function of the pedal position under control of throttle logic which, in turn, is dependent on clutch operating modes defined by the clutch logic. The clutch operating modes are four modes for automatic clutch operation comprising touch point approach mode which prohibits a throttle signal during initial clutch movement, creep mode or startup mode after touch point (81) occurs, and lockup mode for completing clutch closing when low clutch slip is attained. A non-automatic mode is entered before the accelerator pedal (11) is depressed or when engine (10) stall conditions are detected. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>
